An electric or plug-in vehicle will not turn off if you release the clutch, and you cannot hear the engine running. This is in contrast to a fuel car. The motor only switches off when it is a High impact collision , provided the safety systems works. One care provider cannot determine whether the ‘High Impact effect or kenetic energy’  was sufficient and whether the safety systems actually did work. Moreover, the technology of an electric car is already so advanced that the engine is switched on when the driver takes place in the driver's seat. Often no key or button is needed to turn it on and off. In this situation it is impossible for the care provider to anticipate this.

The victim may unknowingly or consciously press the accelerator pedal while the vehicle is still running. The car will respond immediately and no person will hear this. Because an electrically powered vehicle has an enormous torque, it is almost impossible to lock the wheels. In fact, the situation is only getting more dangerous; the blocking acts like a ski jump. There is therefore a very high chance that an undesirable situation will arise for the care provider, the victim and bystanders; there is a high risk of serious injuries and even death.
